But you are discounting the effect of "love" in this situation.
You are with a girl. Been with her for 5 years. Going good. You fuck up and call her a bitch one day. She wasn't having that and she haul off and smack the shit out of you. No harm no foul right.
I was putting this same situation down to my lady last night.
Saying how I've never been smacked, her response was, " Because your crazy ". At first I didn't catch it, then I asked what she meant and she explained basically she would never attempt to do such to me because I might come after her like and I quote, " A spider monkey ".

A friend of mine, she also confirmed similar feelings concerning taking that chance on, " Slapping " me.
Personal lesson for me:
I don't fuck with women who want to " Slap " me.
I don't speak bullshit outbursts meant to hurt people.
My thoughts:
I suppose if your the type who feels it's ok to hit a woman after she hits you . . . maybe that's why she felt she could hit you.

Do you know what I'm really saying with that. Does it apply to you?
I'm not talking directly to you Andey, just in a general way.
Everyone's gonna have a fucking opinion over this dumb shit. Most of them are going to be ignorant . . . . so I'm not going to be following these threads to closely. Peace.
